So, I was tweaking around in Adobe acrobat the other day, making some generic forms of "standard" parts that I intend to distribute to my project managers. the idea is that they check of the right radio buttons and fill in the blank fields, and send me back the .PDF, so we don't have to screw around with hand sketches and stuff.

I then got the bright idea, "Wait, if its good enough for the desk top, why not have them just submit forms from the field via their smart phone". so I sent myself the .pdf file...and it turns out, that none of my three Android PDF viewers (including the official Adobe App), allow me to fill in form info. Is this true for iOS devices and WP7 as well (and to an extent, Blackberry)? Does anyone know if special javascripting is required (which would suck, since I only drink Java, I don't speak it)? While most PMs in my company are running Android hand sets, I still have one straggler who is using an antiquated iP4 :wink: , and one who uses a Blackberry with actual keys :lol: ...so even if I could, writing an App for this stuff would be point less since I'd have to cover three platforms.

Anyone have experience with this sort of thing?

Nice,

I will check that out...I already have AstroPro, so I am halfway there.
